Resolved Unable to reinstall modsecurity after upgrade from Onyx to Obsidian

Abernathy

New Pleskian
Server operating system version
CentOS Linux 7.9
Plesk version and microupdate number
18.0.57
In the process of upgrading to Obsidian, I had this conflict ;
Bash:
Exception: Failed to solve dependencies:
plesk-modsecurity-configurator conflicts with mod_security-2.9.2-centos7.19091318.x86_64

I did remove mod_security thinking I would reinstall it after upgrade.
Maybe I should have used the installer to remove the component.

Complete!

Upgrade went fine afterwards and I now have Plesk Obsidian v18.0.57

My issue is that I cannot reinstall modsecurity.​

Bash:
plesk installer --select-release-current --install-component modsecurity

Error

Bash:

Can someone please help me to reinstall modsecurity ?

 
Found the problem... exclude=mod_security in /etc/yum.conf
I commented out that line and modsecurity install went fine.
